Magico M2

The speaker looks really beautiful.

I do find it interesting the construction of aluminum in contact with carbon fiber. In my experience in the aircraft industry you never have aluminum assembled to carbon fiber due to corrosion issues. The requirements are very different and with speakers in that they don't have temperature, altitude or stress the same as aircraft. But, the two don't play well together due to the effect of carbon fibers corrosive effects on aluminum. Just a thought.

Pretty sure there is a gasket between the carbon and aluminum....
 
Speakers don't get rain, salt, chemicals. U are way over thinking this...​

I'm merely bringing up the facts about aluminum and carbon fiber. Weather and the environment has an effect on everything everywhere even in the home with equipment and speakers.

well years ago when carbon was still exotic in bicycle industry , the French manufacturing company LOOK bicycles used pipes of carbon and those where glued together with aluminum joints , can't recall i have heard of any faulty because of those parts together.
Apart from that i like the look of the M2 :)
 
Had several cars, including the BMW M3, aluminum chassis with a CF roof, so its not just the French ;)
 
A3 cracked a brief mention in the Stereophile Montreal show reports. I don't think M2 got a mention at all.
 
The monocoque construction of the M2 and M6 is a brilliantly engineered design with tension rods holding the cast aluminum front and back and the thick carbon fiber sides very tightly together. No bonding of aluminum and carbon is necessary. Consequently, the cabinet is amazingly strong, rigid and inert. I knocked hard on the carbon fiber sides of the M6 and it is as solid as a rock. Highly impressive.

I agree. The original Magico Mini was also constructed like this but with birch plywood instead of carbon fiber. I imagine it takes less time to assemble these new speakers because of the few connectors, saving costs.
